'We are highly gratified in finding, by a letter brought from Carlscrona, by the Gottenburgh Mail, that the Salsette Frigate, about which great appre hensions prevailed, arrived safe in that port on the 7th inst. Accounts were received•at the Admiralty this day, confirming this agreeable intelligence, Which was conveyed with the utmost celerity to those who were chiefly interested in the fate of this Vessel. This morning a Gottenburgh Mail arrived, which brings the following intelligence:— EXTRACT OF A LETTER FROM CARLSCRONA, DATED MARCH 8, umg. - " It is with great pleasure I acquaint you with the safe arrival of his Majesty's Stiip lsette, for which the utmost anxiety has been entertained. She came into this Port yesterday, after having suffered much by being so long in the ice : it is however gratifying to hear, that although she has been in a perilous situation for more than nine weeks, she has only lost one .main, and there are only three others On the sick list.- STocxuot.m, MARCH 6.—lt was announce at 'Change publicly, on iatur►lay heat, that the Treaty of Commerce betwee'n England au t. this coutstry bad been signed, and that this place was to become a free port. Ti l e King's intended tour has been postponed for the present. GOTTENBURGII, MMICH icy. -- Yesterday a large link() Vessel, laden with corn, was driven into Marstrand by contrary wind, and is said to be a very valuable prize. The canal which is now cutting through the ice, to admit the Vesels which are frozen up to take ',their departure, will be completed within the limited time; several Ships will in a ti:w days be in clear water. • His Majesty's Ships Tartar and Rose arrived yes terday in Fkernish STacKnoLta, I\lA B.—No intelligence what ever has been rec►ved flora the army. Srook.ttout, MAitcu 3.—Thc tbliovving Russian Proclamation has been lately received here ‘, We, AmtlatinEft I. by the grace of God, Em peror and Self-Ruler of all the Russias, and Grand Duke of Finland, &c. unto all our faithful vassals and subjeas of the Grand Duchy of Finland, greeting. As through the dispens.itions- of. Providence, and the success of our arms, the Gland Duchy of Finland has been for ever incorporated and united with our Empire, the prosperity and Welfare of its inhabitants becomes one of the principal objeas of our imperial solicitude and care. 'Being convinced that all the inhabitants of Finland will joyfully assist us to attain that desirable end, we have accordingly ordained, andy do.hereby ordain, that agreeably the peculiar constitution of that country, aGeneralAasem bly of tho States be held in the town of Borga, on the t oth of March of this year, all the Deputies of the States are therefore to meet there i at that time, in order to deliberate, in conformity with the Statutes of the Empire, ,on such points as we shall point out for their deliberation: " Given in l'etersburgh, the 20th Jan. 18'09. ALEXANDHA." 1, Stockholm C;azitte, March 3." The chief Opposition Paper of this day states, that two Austrian Gentlemen arrived yesterday in a Boat from Middlebtirgh. We can aqiurq our Readers that they are time two English Gentlemen'- who er►reped flout Verdun, as we mentioned yesterday. They do not, as reported, bring the Declaration of War between Anktri'il and Fiance, nor has such De claration been received by Government. THE contents of the French Papers which were received in town last night, strongly manife . st the hostile' feelings of BUQNAPARTE towards Austria, and his determination to commencewar immediately, unless the Emperor of Austria should submit to such terms as will almost annihilate his political import ance in the scale of Nations, and render him con temptible in the.eyes of all mankind. The article dated Vienna, the 15th ult. which states that AN DREOSSI, the French Ambassador to the Austrian Court, hai obtained leave of absence, and that he will employ .that interval in a visit to Paris, is a strong mark of French subtlety, and the probable truth is, that ANDREOSSI has been wholly recalled, preparatory to the commence ment of hostilities on the part of France, and 'that it is stated as a mere temporary visit, for the purpose of deceiving the Austrian Cabinet The ridicule which the French Papers throw on the Austrian Militia, - is another proof of the sentiments ,of • the• French Usurper ; but while he affeas to despise the. Austrian Militia, as the interacted oppo nents . of the conquerors of Uhn and Marengo, thus artfully reminding the Emperor, FeAtscts of former triumphs of the French over the Aus trian armies, he cautiously refrains from tak ing any notice of the Regular Forces of Austria, which, as we have before stated, are at present in the most excellent condition. Indeed, it is slightly mentioned, that several battalions of Croats are gone to Buda, in Hungary, and Petau, a town of Lower Styria, and that some, Regiments have been sent into Moravia; but the general military strength and dis position of the Austrian Armies is prudently passed over. Even the account wbich is given of the depre dations made by the wolves at the verygates of Vienna, is most probably introduced for the purpose of throw ing contempt upon the state of Austria, in shewing how little resistance can be expected against the French, when the Austrian Cabinet has not vigour enough to drive away a few wolves from the very scat of Government. We arc then told of the de pression of the Public Funds at Vienna, in conse quence of the apprehension of war with France. The assertion in the French Papers, that no negotia tion will take place between Russia and France, is doubtless introduced with the view of inducing the Germanic States to believe that Russia will maintain her relations with France, and take no part Austria, if a rupture should ensue. Tlus.Articla,. dated Trieste, Feb. 18, confirms our statement on Wednesday last, that the Austrian Army. was to be put, on the war, establishment on the first of this month. The orders , for that purpose, it appears, were issued on the t etli of the preceding .montly By the article dated Wisbadcn, Feb. 24, we are still more strongly apprised of the determined spirit of vengeance towards Austria, that prevails in the mind of BUONAPARTE—for his submissive tool, the Prince Primate, has • issued orders to the different States which constitute the Confederations of the Rhine, direaing all the vassal Princes to be. ready with their contingents. They are told, by way of encouragement, that the Spanish Armies are annihilated , and the Eq_ lish driven, with the loss of half their troops, &c. from Spain, and that this triumph of theFrench i arms.in that country, and the movements of Austria, had occasioned the - French Ruler to return to his capital, and, of course, to have nothing to obstrua his designs against the Emperor FRANCIS. , But the article dated Ham burgh, Feb. 22, is, if possible, more expressive of the intentions of BUONAPARTE, whose deepest de signs are often veiled under the slightest cover ing. The sale of the publication at Vienna, con taining all the documents respeaing the infamous manner in which the Royal Faccily of Spain were entrapped by. the French Usurper, is mentioned, with an observatiOn winch indeed cannot be mistaken, viz. that such writings are never permitted to be sold till a decisive part is taken respeaing those of whom they treat, This remark shews that BUONA PARTE is determined to take a decisive part ; and it is not likely - that he will ever forgive the Emperor Faitatctsfor daring to tolerate such an exposure of his artifice and villainy. Another article, dated Paris,. March 4th, has the same tendency, depreci ating the resources of Austria, and ridiculing her Cabinet. The accounts which the French Papers contain Of what is going forward at Madrid, shew . that Buo- NAPARTa has resolved to secure Spain, by every means' calculated to terrify the people into submis sion. A Criminal Junta has been formed and all who presume to have any feelings of patriotism are, upon any manifestation of those feelings, to undergo the mockerylof a trial, and be consigned to the gibbet within. 24 hours. Such are the means by which the tyrant is to meliorate the condition of Spain,' while the nations of the Continent quietly look on, and suffer their troops to co-operate in the designs of the Usurper, and thereby rivet their own chains ! !
